If there's one good thing about the rash of injuries that
have hit the Detroit Red Wings, it's the handful of the organization's young
players who have gotten a chance to play regularly in the NHL earlier than
expected.

The Red Wings are finding out what they can do.

It's safe to say none of the players recalled from Grand
Rapids have been more impressive than forwards Luke Glendening, Riley Sheahan
and Tomas Jurco.

Glendening has played well defensively and killing penalties, Sheahan has
scored in two straight games and Jurco's slick offensive skills have vaulted him to No. 3
on the Red Wings midseason prospect rankings behind 2013 No. 1 draft pick
Anthony Mantha and goalie Petr Mrazek.

Henrik Zetterberg, who won't play tonight because of a back
injury, had two goals and an assist as the Red Wings scored three power-play
goals in their victory. In the loss, the Flyers went 3-for-3 on the power play
while the Red Wings were 1-for-7.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Gustav Nyquist has scored a goal in four straight games, the
Red Wings longest streak since Daniel Cleary scored in six straight from Nov.
5-17, 2010. (Pavel Datsyuk scored in five straight in 2012-13 but he missed one
game because of an injury during his streak.)
